About two months ago, when I started to feel the need to share data between many devices, I found Wuala (http://www.wuala.com/). Unlike most (all?) of the other cloud storage services it encrypts your data on the client-side, so even if the company went bankrupt and was liquidated your data would probably still be private. Plus they have clients for every kind of device I use. Although DropBox, Microsoft, and Google are not likely to go bankrupt or get bought-out I still don't really trust any of them to have my best interests in mind. -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
